state vs law; left hand vs right hand

Not to be picky, but, dear Nikolai, how are you going to achieve legality
without a state to enforce the law? Isn't it meaningless to divorce the
former from the latter? If you want global rule of law, you have to want a
world state. Or, do you have an alternative enforcement mechanism in
mind? (The only one I, with my limited imagination, can think of is the
mafia; that gives me no alternative but to clearly prefer the state in its
bourgeois democratic form thank you very much.)
